If you have any short statements about Agents of Atlas for issue 5, leave them here and I may be able to get them in the last issue. Yes, I know it’s a little late to start a letter column, but hey.

Today is when it all blows up- do not miss these issues! You’ll want to read Avengers Academy first for the crossover, Thunderbolters. And Atlas fans, don’t get hysterical in the comments, I don’t want to have to bring you water and a paper bag to breathe into.

Things start heating up in both books, so bundle ‘em.

And you can go pick it up TODAY.

Today I spoke to Chris Sims at Comics Alliance about the new GORILLA-MAN #1 and… the news about ATLAS #5. Go read it. And here’s the Modest Mouse mood song that has too many swears for CA to link to. I just want to thank all of you who have been following us all along [...]

Unlettered, yet boss!

Go get ‘em! I got lucky and got one of the Ramona Fradon covers. If you don’t know her, she’s an industry legend and designed the character Metamorpho. But what’s weird is that NAMORA and RAMONA are anagrams.

And hotel-tenants everywhere are reading about it in their complimentary copy of USA TODAY. I also talk to to Chris Sims at COMICS ALLIANCE, though they did not go with his original headline “Parker Tells Saturn to Eat Uranus.” And here for fun, the original rough I did that Terry Dodson snickered at before drawing [...]

A new Word Balloon interview! And this time John talks to me and Gabriel Hardman about ATLAS, and Planet of the Apes. Had we recorded this just a few days later, we would have probably talked about the late great Frank Frazetta, most likely. I’m currently looking for a frame to put my CREEPY cover [...]

Hey, we’ve got some space to do a letter column in ATLAS 1, so if you have questions about the team, past stories, almost anything- post them here in Comments. Try to avoid “what will happen” questions please, they’re just frustrating for everybody. And leave your real name for the response!

Three issues, this Summer! Go read me speaking with Vaneta at NEWSARAMA. But wait, there’s more! Here’s another piece with Dave Richards at COMIC BOOK RESOURCES.

Over at NEWSARAMA, get a few pages from next weeks AVENGERS VS ATLAS and behold the Gabe Hardman art with colors by Elizabeth Breitweiser!

Told you there was more news- over at Comic Book Resources and Newsarama and Marvel you can read a little bit about the NEW ONGOING simply called ATLAS. I’m a little secretive at the moment but hey, do you want things spoiled, really? Gabe Hardman and I are furiously working to start this off with [...]

You can see a preview here at Comics Bulletin as the Agents of Atlas get back into it with The Avengers, and then the ORIGINAL Avengers. And today also has the conclusion to the THUNDERBOLTS hit on them, where I just bet you, SOMEONE DIES. Also out today: SPIDER-MAN 1602! I know there’s a preview [...]

Over at NEWSARAMA you can preview the upcoming AVENGERS vs. ATLAS with the team of me, Gabriel Hardman and Elizabeth Breitweiser as we put the band back together to meet the original line up of The Avengers. And right after that preview, see the THUNDERBOLTS beat on the team too! I don’t know if that [...]

And enjoy a good review as you do, courtesy Matthew Brady and Comics Bulletin.

Report to your officially sanctioned adventure-dispensing facility. I hope you’ll pick up the first of the three issue miniseries THE URANIAN, which has art by the excellent Felix Ruiz. See the early years of Bob Grayson as he discovers his home planet and tries to get the hang of this hero thing.

Over at Comic Book Resources, read about the talented crew piling into the good ship HMS Agents of Atlas for the AVENGERS vs ATLAS miniseries- Jason Aaron! Paul Cornell! Scott Kurtz! And they have written some excellent shorts focusing on individual members of the team. I totally owe them. Make sure your shop is ordering [...]

The first few pages are over at BSCreview.com, and those mischievous Agents of Atlas stop by.

Drew Robbins captured on film some of the elusive Agents of Atlas Heroclix figures- why are these so hard for me to find pics of? Have my web search skills gone bad? Anyway, I’ve now got to go find some, excuse me… UPDATE: Wndola comes through with the line up!

Today in shops: The conclusion of X-MEN VS. AGENTS OF ATLAS 2! And that leads right into another book on shelves today, ASSAULT ON NEW OLYMPUS (Incredible Hercules) where the Agents take what the goddess Aphrodite has to dish out. And the collection of my short n sweet run on EXILES is out today, if [...]

I think the reason I haven’t been posting lately is because I have SIX BOOKS coming out from Marvel in January that need to get done NOW! Agents of Atlas readers, notice that there are FOUR separate titles with the team (well, one is Bob only) in them too. Order accordingly. THUNDERBOLTS #140 Written by [...]

Which looks awesome, is what.

Go to Newsarama and get a peek at this sweet baby that comes out TODAY. The main feature has the always stellar art of Carlo Pagulayan, and for our back up we welcome artists’ artist Chris Samnee! It is a comics art lover must-have. Plus: Cyclops and Emma in a dune buggy! UPDATE: I forgot [...]

The preview of the big throwdown is up over at Newsarama! Do me a solid and click ‘recommend’ a few times if you go. Carlo Pagulayan is the incredible…
